I downloaded the Jessie image from march. With this completely fresh install the dmesg still mentions "mmc1: error -110 whilst initialising SDIO card". So I guess this isn't related to the last release.
Maybe my RPi is faulty indeed.

Of recent, I am having issues with my RPi 3. Wireless connectivity is fine, however, my bluetooth connection doesn't work. As others have noted, the power-up screen shows failed at Configure Bluetooth Modems connected by UART.

I investigated and found that the system was trying to connect at /dev/serial1. That doesn't exist as a device or link. Per aoakley (and others') suggestions, I manually created the link. I run the following (with sudo):

The /dev/serial<n> symlinks should be created by a udev rule (/etc/udev/rules.d/99-com.rules) that reads /proc/device-tree/aliases/uart<n> and serial<n> and matches them up. The firmware determines the uart<->serial mapping.

Reviewing my /etc/udev/rules.d directory, I realized that I unwittingly broke the bluetooth interface when I was configuring a different rule to mount an android device on my RPi. I had renamed 99-com.rules to 99-rules.com.old - which broke the bluetooth interface.

I tried the same SD card in a new RPi3 and this gave wlan and bluetooth right away. I retried my old RPi3 again with the same card, no wireless interfaces.
So I guess my old Pi is dead. This is my first Pi of about 10 that has deceased, I am sad now. Is a three day mourning period appropriate?

Should I give it a ceremonial burial or is someone from the foundation or the manufacturers interested in analyzing what actually broke so they can perhaps improve production?

RPI 3 w/ touchscreen -
Installed pi-bluetooth, blues 5 and pulse audio 5 and did the fixes suggested earlier in this post. I've also done a forced reinstall of pulse. I've also tried this set up compiling pulse 6. Using this link as a guide http://youness.net/raspberry-pi/bluetoo ... spberry-pi

I've able to get my bluetooth speaker pair, trusted and connected. One time... many many re-images ago... I got a pulseaudio sink. I rebooted and have never been able to get my bluetooth "seen" as a sink in pulse.

Here's bluetoothctl with the connected and paired device... it pairs automatically and stays connected for around 3 mins because there's no audio...

I've done a force reinstall of pulse audio... any other suggestions? I'm guessing that this has a lot to do with the services that seem to be missing but I'm not sure why or what to do about that. I'm on a no sleep till this works mission... help!

My issue didn't start after an update. I'm a new user and can't get a Bluetooth speaker to play music. I've read two different threads and tried every suggestion posted. I've also Googled and tried fixes that I've found there. No luck. The Bluetooth icon is pulsing. When I try to connect the speaker, Amplify BSP20, I get "connection failed - use the audio...". Pulseaudio gives me a "fatal error: unable to connect...". When I launch a browser and try to play music on Youtube the page won't load properly. It slows down. I run a few commands and found the following.

4) If you updated, and you have a spare SD card, please try downloading the clean image and installing it to see if the behaviour is different - can that image find the Bluetooth controller?
I am not able to do this right now.

5) On the image which doesn't work, try removing the Bluetooth plugin from the taskbar (right-click and choose "remove this plugin") and rebooting, and then try "bluetoothctl" in the terminal again - any difference?

I cannot get my wireless bluetooth keyboard discovered on my Raspberry PI 3. Are there some keyboards that just won't work with a Raspberry PI 3? I got it from e-Bay and is a Chinese product. The model # is BK3001. I have tried everything in all the troubleshooting questions and replies. If this keyboard is incompatible then, what kind of bluetooth keyboard would you suggest? Keep in mind that I'm a retired Vietnam vet on a fixed income. The Raspberry PI 3 is now my main computer since my wife's laptop got an unrecoverable virus (worm) in it and it's crapped out. Thank you.

Paired but not connecting - Connection Failed No usable services on this device

Anyone able to help with this guys. Bluetooth is pairing fine on Pi3 Model B but cannot connect to any phone.
When connecting the above error appears. I have tested this with a bluetooth enabled speaker but however no audio feed.
Trying to get bluetooth interaction via bluetooth to phone for college project but no joy so far.Have made all the necessary updates and upgrades, etc but still no look?
Serial is registering the device in bluetooth mode fine.

I'm new this this Forum since last Friday, apologies for addressing this post under the wrong heading. Basically what I want to do is send (a) file even an image from my Smart Phone Galaxy S4 to my Pi3 via Bluetooth. They see each other fine on discovery and paired perfectly. However when I try connect from the Pi and click on "connect", the error "Connection Failed No usable services on this device" is prompted in the Pi interface.

Referring to the Bluetooth Speaker, I just this as an example, that the Pi is connecting to a device via bluetooth. The phone was tested from phone to phone to make sure it could send and receive files.

What do you make of it and I hope its more clearer. Also what heading should this post be going under?

Douglas6 absolutely delighted great job, cheers!
The auto enable very handy, for a minute I was questioning why it seemed like there was no connection, but as I sent a file the Listener picked straight away, the connection icon turned green automatically and received the file.
No just need to figure out how to send a file from Pi back to phone.
